massive quake

Awful news, with a death toll sure to rise.

How awful to be forewarned, but still unable to be prepared. Heard on the radio that many will sleep outside, because they fear danger from aftershocks

Horrific. Unfortunately, if it doesn't involve Kim Kardashian's ass or whether Bruce Jenner is keeping his dick attached or not, it isn't news here any more. :(

Its too bad that a place that gets so much tourism really doesn't benefit from those dollars spent, I guess due to the political issues there. I just hate to think how bad it'll be when its all done. They're having aftershocks above 6 for crying out loud

FTFY

For those wanting to do something especially for Nepal's children.

i hope they start getting aid to people soon, or the death toll will begin to include people who survived the quake-but didn't receive what they needed after.

Also saw in another article that they are saying a half million tents are needed.

Amazing satellite imagery....but..
Not all the built up strain was released in the quake and aftershocks according to the article. So, when will that strain wreak its havoc?

We have a helicopter missing in Nepal. Hope the marines are found unharmed...
